Glen Righ

Explore pretty Glen Righ

There’s a fine series of eight waterfalls here, and from May to June you can find bluebells carpeting the woodland on your way. Just by the car park you can sit and watch red squirrel bustling among the trees. Further up the hill there are great views over Loch Linnhe: it’s a particularly good place to come at sunset.

Notice

The Wades Road trail will have forest works taking place between 29 November 2018 and 1 March 2019. We will attempt to keep access open as far as possible, but there may be times when we have to close the route while we work next to the track. Please obey signage and directions from workers on site. As an alternative, Wades Road can be walked as an out and back route rather than a circuit, and the Waterfall Trail will be unaffected by work. Thank you for your cooperation!

Need a rest?

You’ll find public toilets at the Corran ferry, just along the road. There are places to eat at the ferry and in Inchree village.

Waterfall Trail

Climb up beside the Abhainn Righ gorge to the remarkable Inchree Falls and look out across Loch Linnhe.

The Abhainn Righ cascades down the hill in a series of steps, forming eight mighty waterfalls: they’re particularly impressive after heavy rain.

Follow the route of an 18th century military road through the shady larch forest. You’re rewarded with great Atlantic views from the open hillside above.

Long steep slopes for 400m. Uneven gravel surface, with some exposed tree roots and rocky sections. Includes two bridges.

You’ll be following in the footsteps of 18th century soldiers along this trail: it follows part of the network of roads built to control the Highlands after the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. They’re named after General Wade, who directed the project – this road was actually built by his successor, General Caulfield.

A community long gone

Hidden in the depths of the forest here are the remains of Corrychurrachan - a township that dates back as far as 1522.

Red squirrel viewing screen

Meet some of Inchree’s most popular residents at the red squirrel viewing screen close to the car park. The screen is at the end of a short (5 metre path), with a wide, firm and smooth gravel surface.

For a longer walk explore the attractive birch woods beyond the falls. Cross ‘An Drochaid’ (the bridge - say An Droch-itch) for lovely views over the loch.
